Memorial Day

On this Memorial Day, we remember those who have died in service to our country. Their sacrifice the ultimate price, but one they paid willingly. To them, and to their families, who have also made tremendous sacrifices, we thank you.






I would add, "and girls" who have sacrificed as well.

As a special thank you to those soldiers who guard the Tomb of the Unknowns 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, come hell or high water, I offer this report by Chris Wallace about the guards:




Thank you to those soldiers who guard the Tomb of the Unknowns morning, noon, and night. Your dedication and devotion to those who were lost and have yet to be identified is awe-inspiring.

We can remember those who have died in service to the country together today. The Memorial Day Foundation states:
The National Moment of Remembrance was created by President William Clinton to observe a moment of silence to occur at 3:00 p.m. (local time) on each Memorial Day. This is to encourage Americans everywhere, to pause for one minute at 3:00 p.m. (local time) on Memorial Day, to remember and reflect on the sacrifices made by so many to provide freedom for all...(Click HERE to read a copy of the official White House Press Release announcing "The National Moment of Remembrance.")

We remember you. We will not forget you. From a grateful nation, we thank you.
